So I just scored a pair of Polk RTi6's on eBay for super cheap, should get them in a week or so.  I've read the reviews of the similar RTi bookshelf's from Polk, RTi25, RTi4, RTi35, etc. enough to know they'll at least work as surrounds in the HT, but I'm going to try them in the stereo room first for S&G.  I have a fun project that I've been playing with from over on the amplifier review circle, the Pioneer VSX912 receiver that Earl Geddes was famously using to demo his speakers with at the CES and I just don't have anything around the house with a benign enough load to work with it.  So I'm hoping these might do the trick.

Anyway, while waiting to get them here to hook up, anybody have any experience with these or comments to make?  Please be frank as I have no vested interest in them and you won't hurt my feelings with honest comments.  Thanks in advance.

I use them as my main speakers in a HT system. Sound good enough for me. Just using in stereo when I listen to a CD they again sound pretty darn good. I drive them with an Onkyo receiver.

I'm pretty darn impressed with these at the price point.  Not perfect by any means, but way better than they have a right to be.  Midrange detail is breathtaking, the bass is not too flabby and goes very low for a bookshelf, highs are delicate but can be a little steely with the wrong cables.  Imagining is fantastic in width, no so much in depth or image specificity.  Overall a very pleasant speaker to listen to, very musical and non-fatiguing, I can see why the Polk's have a following.
